The Upchurch Memorial Services at
Anaconda Wednesday Night.
ANACONDA, March 10, 1887.

ANACONDA, March 10, 1887.
The Upchurch memorial services held
here last evening was one OF the most inter-
esting affairs that ever took place in this
place. 1t had been announced that Col. G.
&. Bradshaw, of Butte. would address the
A. O. L. w. and the citizens of this place,
taking for his subject the good works done

presiding officer of the A.. o. U. w. here,
whose name escapes me, after which the
opening ode OF the order was sung, followed
by prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Wood1,
VI the Christian Church. The old
,amiliar hymn, Rock OF Ages Cleft for
Ne" was then sung by the choir in which
'he audience joined, at the conclusion OF
which the Master Workman introduced the
orator of the evening, Col. C. G.. Bradshaw,
ofyour city. The Colonel reputation as
an orator had preceded him, but no one
present expected the rich intellectual treat
winch he gave them. They looked for an
ambition of oratory but did not expect
such a flow Of eloquence combined with a
eofnpl"te resume of the object, progress

Later in the evening General Minty was
seen and he assured the reporter that by
ten o'clock last night communication would
be complete to Anaconda n a train will
leave Butte for there at 10 o'clock
this morning. He regarded the
bridge near Garrison as in most
imminent danger. The masses OF ice at
the bridge near Deer Lodge, he said, were
the size OF a freight car, bat by the use of
giant powder, they had been broken to
irssments and the ice was now running out
less dangerously. He admitted that the
road would not be open to Helena for a
day or two yet. and said that if the
bridge near Garrison held they would be
all right.
